| dc.description.abstract | Blended learning is an educational model which makes use of both traditional face-to-
face classroom settings and online learning environment. Blended learning approach
provides more freedom to adjust the learning process according to learner needs. With the
advancement of modern technology, blended learning uses a variety of new ways that can
optimize the maximum benefits of traditional teaching methods. In the English Language
Teaching (ELT) field, blended learning can be successfully used in several ways in teaching
and when giving formative feedback. Formative feedback is an ongoing process which
makes learners reflect on their own work and evaluate their learning and providing for-
mative feedback on students’ writing drafts increases their confidence and develop better
writing practices. This study aims to analyze a secondary English language textbook
to determine the extent to which it incorporates blended learning aspects and formative
feedback on writing. The study also aims to provide suggestions on effectively integrating
blended learning aspects and formative feedback into textbooks. The methodology
employed in this study involves a textbook analysis. Various aspects of blended learning,
such as the inclusion of online resources, interactive activities, multimedia materials, and
opportunities for self-directed learning, are examined. Also, the analysis identifies the
strengths and weaknesses of the textbook in relation to formative feedback aspect and
highlights areas where improvements can be made. These suggestions are based on best
practices and emerging trends in blended learning pedagogy and they provide practical
guidance to curriculum developers and educators. | en_US |
